In the next second, her arm was pulled, and she fell into Jiang Xiao’s embrace.
Her vulnerable spots could only call out for help helplessly as Song Qiuyu’s hands nervously gripped Jiang Xiao’s firm forearms, her chest heaving violently.
She didn’t even have time to push him away.
Jiang Xiao pressed against her lower back, preventing her from leaving. “Don’t think about running. Look at your expression. Who is the one truly afraid here?”
Song Qiuyu held her breath.
“Get ready, Su’er. To prove I’m not inferior to the Azure Dragon you mentioned, I’ll give it my all!”
After saying this, Jiang Xiao picked her up, walked straight into the water, and began helping her bathe. Song Qiuyu’s mind went blank.
It felt as if countless versions of Jiang Xiao were beating gongs and circling around her ears, repeating that manly declaration.
Her heart skipped a beat and then began to race.
‘Am I finished?’
“Ugh!”
Song Qiuyu quickly covered her mouth, burying her blushing face in Jiang Xiao’s firm chest while letting him bathe her.
Jiang Xiao seemed to have completely transformed into an experienced Magician; otherwise, why did every place he touched feel like waves of burning heat?
‘Jiang Xiao is so bad! He shouldn’t have secretly learned Magic Techniques to deal with me!’
At the sudden light sensation, Song Qiuyu curled her body into a small ball, her teeth tightly gritting as she buried her face even deeper into Jiang Xiao’s chest.
In this moment, many thoughts popped into her head, but she banished them all.
In the end, only her initial determination remained.
She would adapt. She could adapt. She should adapt, because—she was the girl who was going to marry Jiang Xiao!
‘I have to endure it. Begging for mercy before it even starts… I can’t afford to lose face like this, Song Qiuyu! Xi’er can’t afford it even more!!’
‘Don’t get addicted to this.’
Even as she primly rejected the notion in her heart, she could not deny that certain parts of her body were cheering because of it.
Unlike her own touch, because it was Jiang Xiao, it held a special meaning.
Song Qiuyu knew very well that men liked strong partners. She could likely achieve that, but just imagining it was truly embarrassing.
‘He’ll laugh at me! He’ll definitely mock me!’
“Xi’er, if you’re like this, it’s hard for me to keep helping you wash,” Jiang Xiao’s sigh sounded in her ear.
“It’s all because of you!” Song Qiuyu bit her lip and forced herself to look up.
Seeing the smile in Jiang Xiao’s eyes, she became quite annoyed and pouted. “Don’t look down on me. Just this much, I won’t—”
She immediately changed her words and intentionally puffed out her chest to show her spirit and courage. Midway through the sentence, she suddenly realized what she was doing.
She rushed to turn around, crossing her arms over her chest.
Her brain was filled with a chorus of screams. She stopped thinking.
“Yes, I know. My Xi’er is the best.”
Jiang Xiao continued to help her wash. Hearing this, Song Qiuyu paused.
Her small nose twitched as she let out a soft snort, then she raised her smooth chin somewhat proudly.
This was likely a treatment that one could never enjoy as just a Male Roommate.
It was something only a Girlfriend could easily enjoy!
She didn’t continue to be angry with him or throw a sudden fit.
Aside from the brief sulking at the beginning, she stopped being bothered by him. This sulking came quickly and left even faster.
After all, she understood. Men, no matter how mature and steady they seemed on the outside, were always boys who never grew up in private.
They were quite immature through and through, only knowing how to tease and bully the girl they liked every day!
‘I understand. Those who know, know.’
After a while, both of them were finally finished washing, though Jiang Xiao didn’t let Song Qiuyu lift a finger the entire time.
Song Qiuyu felt dissatisfied again, feeling as if her resolve to be a good Girlfriend had lost to Jiang Xiao’s efforts.
Thus, when Jiang Xiao “unintentionally” looked down, he saw the person beside him with her arms crossed and her brows furrowed, looking as though she were pouting on purpose.
It was the first time he had seen her act so obviously coquettish. How curious. Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Jiang Xiao~” Song Qiuyu didn’t mind his laughter. Instead, she stretched out her arms and tilted her head, her smile sweet and alluring. “Hurry up and carry me!”
Jiang Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Then, one large hand went under her armpits while the other supported her thighs. He picked her up around the waist in a Princess carry, light as a feather.
“Mm…” Her legs were now dangling in the air. Even though she had asked for it, Song Qiuyu was still a little startled. By reflex, she wrapped her arms around Jiang Xiao’s neck and buried her face in his firm chest.
Her eyes were downcast, and her soft body was pressed tightly against his hard frame. Their heartbeats were very close. Song Qiuyu felt a strange sensation. She shifted uncomfortably in his arms, but upon feeling the person holding her stiffen slightly, she stopped moving.
After a moment, she had adapted. She spoke in a mock-spoiled tone, “Alright, it’s time for tonight’s main business!”
Jiang Xiao laughed softly without a word, simply carrying her out of the Bathroom.
“Wait, turn off the light!”
“Okay.”
“Alright, keep going.”
Jiang Xiao stopped at the Bedroom door. “Are you really prepared?”
“Are you looking down on me?”
The corners of Jiang Xiao’s lips curled upward. He stepped into the Room and gently placed the person in his arms onto the Bed. “Don’t you dare look down on me.”
Feeling Jiang Xiao’s tenderness, Song Qiuyu clenched her small, pink fists.
Her heart pounded wildly, and she couldn’t help but wonder… since she had given him so many Study Materials… She wondered what Jiang Xiao’s style would be like.
She was so nervous she forgot to breathe.
Then, an expected shadow fell over her, cloaking her. Song Qiuyu squinted her eyes, shyly wanting to hide.
Despite her previous confidence and the many preparations she had made, she still wanted to shrink away out of sheer shyness.
However, to Jiang Xiao, this attempt to hide likely looked like playing hard to get.
“Heh…”
Song Qiuyu unconsciously turned her face away, her hands clenched and crossed over her chest in a final show of reserve.
“Qia’er, you have to look at me!” Jiang Xiao, unsurprisingly, voiced his protest.
Song Qiuyu’s heart skipped a beat.
She turned her face back inch by inch, only to see that the person in front of her was clearly ready for everything.
Her slender, bare feet were positioned on his shoulders—the ones she had leaned on to sleep more times than she could count—her toes curling.
With just one glance, she pressed her lips together tightly, overwhelmed with embarrassment. Did she really have to watch?
Jiang Xiao smiled. He began the preparations, acting like a cool adult. Unfortunately, it seemed he couldn’t stay cool for even three seconds.
“What should I do, Xi’er? I don’t seem to be doing this right.”
“…”
Song Qiuyu’s brows twitched. ‘I bet Haki Xiao is pretending not to know how to do this on purpose.’
Jiang Xiao was indeed faking it, and he knew very well that she could see through him.
Then, he saw her look elsewhere.
After hesitating for a long while, she still obediently sat up. Reaching out her small hand, she took it and began to demonstrate once again.
“Do you know how now?”
Song Qiuyu’s heart was thumping.
“Yes!” Jiang Xiao nodded with a smile.
Song Qiuyu instinctively tried to lie back down. But she was only halfway there when Jiang Xiao started again.
“No, I still need Xi’er to teach me more!” Jiang Xiao said seriously. “Teacher Xi’er, you won’t dislike a clumsy Student like me, right?”
Hearing this, Song Qiuyu’s expression turned strange.
She let out a muffled snort, bit her lip, and with a blushing face, she helplessly sat up again. Jiang Xiao watched her with a smile.
Even though she knew he was likely faking, she still taught him seriously.
With her soft hands, she held it and guided him step by step.
A Xi’er like this possessed a unique charm.
“Okay, I think I’ve got it.”
“That’s good. Now you can just—”
Before she could finish, the promised event began. Jiang Xiao leaned down, cupped her burning cheeks, and shared a deep, lingering kiss.
“Mm!”
Song Qiuyu felt as if she were a firework being set off on a summer night. With a bang, she soared into the sky and blossomed against the clear night.
She was no longer in control of herself.
As time passed, the winter night became incredibly hot. Song Qiuyu was already hugging her pillow tightly, covering her face.
“Jiang Xiao, wait… wait! Mm… let’s talk!”
“I really misjudged you. It was my mistake!”
“I’m begging you! Spare me! Jiang Xiao~”
Hearing her plead, Jiang Xiao only exhaled. He used his long-fingered hand to brush his damp hair back.
“Qia’er, did you forget? You still owe me for six whole years.”
